Commissioner Jason Marsh. &#8220;At the same time, we must remember those who have given their lives protecting our community. Let us continue to embrace their families as our family.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mr. Marsh added, &#8220;In these times where we are the targets while we try to protect the members of this community, [we have] to be mindful and careful of our surroundings because we, like our community, have family members that love us and want us home safely.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<table class=\"wp-block-table\"><tbody><tr><td><strong>Territorial Activities and Events\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0<strong><br>St.Thomas \u2013 St. John\u00a0<br><a>Sunday, May 12, 2019<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0\u2013Mother&#8217;s Day St. John peace concert 5pm-until\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<br><strong><a>Monday, May 13<\/a><\/strong> &#8211; STT meet and greet Superior Court Yard\u00a0<a>7am-12pm<\/a>\u00a0<br><strong><a>Tuesday, May 14<\/a><\/strong> &#8211; STJ Breakfast\/Lunch meet and greet Jurgen\u00a0Command<a>8am-2pm<\/a>\u00a0<br><strong><a>Wednesday, May 15<\/a><\/strong> &#8211; Parade STJ Jurgen Command, ending Cruz Bay 10am-until\u00a0<br><strong><a>Thursday, May 16<\/a><\/strong> &#8211; Bags of Love Civilian Drive\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<strong><br><a>Friday, May<\/a>\u00a0<a>17<\/a><\/strong> &#8211; kids Culinary Event Emancipation Garden\u00a0<a>8am-3pm<\/a>\u00a0<br><strong><a>Saturday, May 18<\/a><\/strong> &#8211; Peace Concert Emancipation Garden 5pm-until\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<br><strong>St. Croix<\/strong>\u00a0<strong><br><a>Monday, May 13<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 Shooting competition, St. Croix marksman shooting range\u00a0South\u00a0Shore 9am-until.
